Studio portrait session for auction to Benefit The Shepherd’s Door

2010 Auction Poster

I’m donating a studio portrait session to benefit The Shepherd’s Door and here’s the poster that will be displayed at the Silent Auction and Pasta Dinner at Bellevue Christian Church on Saturday, May 1st. If you’re local and looking to support a worthy cause, this event is one that you won’t want to miss. There are lots of great items to bid on and the food is delicious!

I’m a bit behind in my blogging, but I’ll get to it soon. New wedding and engagement photos and senior portraits to come soon…

Sneak peek: wedding ceremony at Heinz Chapel

Marie and Dan said, “I do!” at Heinz Chapel this past Saturday. Here’s a sneak peek of their wedding.

Heinz Chapel

The chapel is a stunning setting inside and out.

The happy couple

I really enjoyed seeing this couple light up in their first moments as Mr. and Mrs.

Sisters

I don’t know if I love this photo so much because I was there in the moment or because I have a sister, but to me, this photo represents the tenderness in sisterhood.

More of this sweet ceremony to come!

Recap on a March Maternity Session

Nicolette and Travis were so much fun to work with during their maternity session.  I know they are going to be fantastic parents.  Here are my favorite now that all of the edits are complete:

Expecting momma

This is one of the color variations from a pose that was posted in their sneak peek. Nicolette is gorgeous and I love her naturally curly hair.

The happy couple

You can just see that these guys love that baby.

Baby bump

I love a good 3/4 view of the belly. Nicolette is living proof that pregnancy is beautiful.

Soon to be Mommy and Daddy

This is going to be one good lookin’ baby!

A little romance

You can see that this couple is very much in love.

Pregnant woman

She looks good and she knows it!

Antique black and white

I went antique with the black and white. It’s a softer look that I find suiting for a maternity session.

Kissing the baby

I like Travis’ sweetness in this moment.

Steelers fans

I have a feeling their little one is going to have a Steelers jersey some day.

Thanks again, Nicolette and Travis! Blessings to you and your growing family.

Sneak peek: Maternity session

Last week I had the pleasure of meeting up with Nicolette and Travis for a maternity session. This session was a baby shower gift for Nicolette from her sister-in-law-to-be. I think this is a great gift idea – not just because it’s good for business, but it’s so unexpected and thoughtful. We took our time on a Sunday afternoon and really had a lot of fun with this session. Here are just a few favorites for a sneak peek:

Pregnancy portrait

Belly shots

Maternity photography

More to come next week…

Thanks Nicolette and Travis – it was tons of fun spending time with you in the studio!
